Sam Jones Wonders If Nature
Ever Did Evolute and If She
Will Evolute Again.
Red Rock was certainly cool enough
for any one yesterday morning. Men
IN overcCatS, women in Shawls and win
ter cloaks Shivered through an hour of
Sam Jones Scorching illusions. He
said: when God talks to you through
Paul He's talking through man that
had religion. Christianity is not happi-
ness. but joy. Happiness depends ON
fortuitouS circumstances; joy remains
when everything else seems to be
against you. L am glad OF persecution
and atfiiction and trials, for the
results sure to, flow. from
to God to confess your sins you've
skipped Off and gone to selling real
estate or doing some devilment before
He has had half enough time to regu-
late you. l believe in involution more
than in evolution. Eve often wondered
II nature did eyolute. when she'd evo-
Lutte again and what it would be if she'd
evolute-a boy or girl. Every one
thinks his or hers peculiar case, and
want to say this isn't SO. There may be
little mental difference, just as
between Brother Small and my
self. He has beautiful flow of
language and I've the ideas.
l believe in the divine call, but I've
seen ministers who. when they
preached, made me think that either
they had mistaken the call or God had
made a mistake. Some ministers think
getting up and talking an hour is
preaching. Some think all they've got
TO do Is TO open their mouths, and the
Lord will fill 'em. He will-with wind.
No man, except he be an inspired man
or fool, will try to preach without
preparation. Brethren turning to the
minister's, did you ever see minister
who couldn't preach? Did you ever look
i'll the glass? The church has got its hyp-
ocriteS and bad members, going lame on
one foot. It's blessed fact that when
you see man going lame on one foot
you know the devils heads got bruised
at the same time. and sometime the old
head devils heads going to get smashed.
The best time to pray is when you've
got something to say to God"
Sam Small preached the afternoon
sermon on Paul as an Evangelist
He said: Afraid of PuritaniSmI Why,
I'd rather have old Gen. Howe in BOS-
ton than to have it run by the crowd
that's running it now. Why, the other
day minister was arrested for preach
PuritaniSm! We've snapped off Puritan
ism for pusillanimity in this country.
Any name i'll the world is better than to
be called a hypOcrite. They are rum
ming the Dow liquor law over in Ohio,
and it just runs things between the
devil and the Dutch. The political
parties are alarmed over it, and the
party that doesn't take a square stand
on that question this fall is going to be
ScOOped in Ohio this fall
The large audience which attended
the morning and afternoon services
were largely increased in the evening
by the large numbers of farmers who
hOcked in from the surrounding cOun-
try to hear Sam Jones. Peace" was
his subject.
ut seems to me-" said he, that if
there is deeper, darker hell, that the
man who goes straight down to hell
with his eyes open ought to
get there. How many members
here who are profoundly asleep
on this question? Many preacher, to
our shame, is profoundly asleep on this
subject. You never saw minister
asleep on the question where shall be
sent next year and will my salary be
paid? Take the stewards of our church
and you will find ten mOney-mongers to
one man CHOSEN Tor MS SOllu worth. Inc
ark of God is in the hands of the Philis-
tines. The devil will always furnish
the money if you let him run your
church. I'd as soon be trustee of the
Louisiana state lottery as Methodist
running a fair or festival. Brethren,
Pm not giving it to you. Pm trying to
wake you up. We build and run our
churches to catch the devils crowd.",
